No worries Glenn. I like it and when I ride by, people know it's MY bike! Plus, it sounds alot better than the short shots I had on my Street Bob.

Me too. Miss the "aggressiveness" of the sporty but man this bike is great. Love it. Except it sucks all my cash.

Thanks. Congrats on yours. You'll love it I'm sure. Save you're dollars. Darkening this thing is addictive.
I'm adding a little splash of red. Plug wires on the way.

Neither actually. Was gonna paint em and found some radiused vinyl decals on eBay. You specify rim diameter and stripe thickness. Each set gives you 18 decals. 4 per rim per side and 2 extra. Buy 2 get one set free. I don't make em or sell em. I bought some and liked em.
I'm going for just a little color to break it up. Red plug wires are on the way too.
